Excited about PSP Go debut in the coming month? Well here’s a guide on the gaming portable console. PSPgo is a version of the PlayStation Portable handheld videogame console to be manufactured by Sony. It is scheduled for release on October 1, 2009 in American and European territories.

It was revealed prior to E3 2009 through Sony’s Qore VOD service. Although its design is significantly different from other PSPs, it is not intended to replace the PSP 3000 which Sony will continue to manufacture, sell and support.

IGN sit down and get the grand tour of Sonys new portable reboot.

Unlike previous PSP models, the PSP Go does not feature a UMD slot but instead has 16 GB of internal flash memory to store games, video and other media. This can be extended by up to 32GB with the use of a Memory Stick Micro (M2) flash card.

It is 43% lighter and 56% smaller than the original PSP-1000, and 16% lighter and 35% smaller than the PSP-3000. It has a 3.8″ 480×272 LCD (compared to 4.3″ on previous PSP models).

The screen slides up to reveal the main controls. The overall shape and sliding mechanism are similar to that of Sony’s mylo COM-2 internet device.
